CL Comments: If using wooden skewers, soak them in lemon juice for 30 minutes before grilling. This moistens the skewers so they don't char
during grilling, and it infuses the food with more flavor from the inside out.
Amy's Comments: Super easy and VERY VERY tasty. I served with couscous. YUM!

2 tablespoons grated lemon rind
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
